Perception of place describes the way we develop a place that we've never been to by using information we have recieved from books, movies, stories and pictures.
Absolute Location= accurate location, sometimes determined by its exact longitude and latitude points. Relative Location= A place in relation to other features around it. example: North Carolina is located North of South Carolina, east of Tennessee, and South of Virginia.
Mental Maps are the maps we create in our minds of places that we have been or have heard about, allowing us to envision what they look like. Activity Spacesare spaces in which we visit often or daily and are more accurately detailed in our minds.
All of our activity spaces will include Millbrook High School because we come here everyday.
